The Natural History of Teddy Bears

13 Feb

Today I am fantasizing. I must have a serious library in my home. I will fill it floor to ceiling with all of the beautiful books I desire, but also I’d like for it to resonate a slight taste of exaggerated loony science professor feeling with the decor, with a smattering of scientific specimen on the shelves and walls. A silly academia.

Artist Stephanie Metz has created a series of Felt Wool figures and they are pretty neato. I especially love the teddy bear fetus in a jar. This is perfect for the library.

    I can’t say that I am crazy about this stuff. I see where you are coming from on the library thing and it reminds me of a lighter version of all of the oddities that we saw in that museum in Philadelphia… but overall I think it still borders on creepy.

    I suppose that’s what I am really finding humorous about it – that it should border on creepy in the way that the Mutter Museum does…. but its teddy bears. Teddy bears – you know – the ones that aren’t born and don’t have skeletons.

    Am I weird for thinking this is awesome?

    There is a song that I love this week and it is titled BEAR – and I wrote about it on my other blog – AudioMuffin.com.
    Check it out:

    The beginning sounds like the soundtrack to that little bear fetus floating around.
